Before the indie-pop duo Tegan & Sara took the world by storm, Tegan and Sara Quin were identical twins trying to find their place in a new home and new school. From first crushes to the perils of puberty, surviving junior high is something the sisters plan to face side-by-side, just like they always have. But growing up also means growing apart, as Tegan and Sara make different friends and take separate paths to understanding their queerness. For the first time ever, they ask who one sister is without the other. Set in the present-day, this fictionalized autobiography offers a glimpse at Tegan and Sara before they became icons, exploring their shifting sisterhood, their own experiences coming out, and the first steps of their musical journey. A prequel of sorts to their New York Times-bestselling adult memoir High School, it’s the story of the people they are now, and how so many of the trials they faced in their youth not only brought them to music stardom, but to a rock-solid relationship with each other.

Tegan and Sara may have survived school, but their junior high jams are just beginning. Offstage, school is officially back in session. Between Sara’s growing feelings for her dream girl and Tegan’s falling- out with her former BFF, school might prove to be even messier than last year. Onstage, the twins are swept up in a battle-of-the-bands contest to open for their favourite musical artist, landing them with a new manager, new opportunities, and new challenges, too. But stepping into the spotlight - and into their true selves - means colliding over fame, family, and finding their sound.In this spunky, bighearted conclusion to the autobiographically inspired duology launched in school, the sisters realise that to get the gig that could change their lives forever, they’ll have to first figure out who they are and how to get along.

But he has an idea that might fix things: What if his friends help him bring his story to life?
